Pr0ph3t,

Is there some sites that given an arsenal of tools to realize pen tests 
? I know that www.packetstormsecurity.nl is a good start, but, there is 
another site that is more expecific to download some tools ? Thanks the 
attention!

I'm not sure what "expecific" is, but it does seem to me that maybe you're taking the wrong approach.  Penetration 
testing isn't about running tools...it's about getting information and knowing what to do with it...then doing it.  
Rather than looking for "an arsenal of tools to realize pen tests", maybe a better approach would be to look for 
specific tools to do specific things...
